High Expression of UPK3A Promotes the Progression of Gastric Cancer Cells by Inactivating p53 Pathway.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gastric cancer is a common gastrointestinal tract cancer and is a considerable health burden worldwide. TCGA analysis found Uroplakin 3A (UPK3A) was upregulated in gastric cancer tissues. Our study was designed to investigate the underlying mechanism of Uroplakin 3A (UPK3A) in gastric cancer.

Methods

Data from TCGA database were used to assess the expression, and Kaplan-Meier plotter analysis was used to assess the prognosis value of UPK3A. Furthermore, there are effects of UPK3A silencing on the activity, proliferation, migration, and invasion of human gastric cancer cells (SNU-216 and HGC-27) using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), colony formation, wound healing, and Transwell assays. In addition, the expression of UPK3A, p53,
